Education for Managers

Community managers are the professional backbone of the communities they serve, providing the skills and expertise that are essential to the successful management of associations. They find the knowledge they need through CAI’s time-tested Professional Management Development Program.

In community association management, unless you continue to develop and refine your skills and knowledge base, you risk missing out on exciting career opportunities and increased earning potential.

Professional credentials give employers confidence that you have the knowledge, experience and integrity to provide the best possible service to their associations.

Community associations and management companies always look for qualified professionals to manage their communities. When you earn a designation, you are automatically listed in CAI’s online Directory of Credentialed Professionals, where potential employers and clients can find you. You also receive a kit with resources you can use to promote your credential to clients and employers.

CAI offers various education courses for community managers that cover a wide variety of topics. Courses are available as live, in-person seminars with an instructor or via a self-paced, independent-study online learning format. Choose the option that best meets your needs and schedule.
